The verdict
A huge, pretty arcade extreme-sports sandbox with lots of variety, but heavily monetized, with clunky keyboard controls and a mandatory Ubisoft account. Skip at full price.
Great for
Casual players wanting a relaxed arcade open world of biking, snowboarding and wingsuits, bought on sale
Main risk
Many sports and vehicles are paywalled behind expensive DLC, even in top editions
What players love
Beautiful open world and graphics
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews
